Many components make up modern compound bows, and the string system is one of the most important. The string and cables on today’s bows are the equivalent of a vehicle’s power train, providing power and timing. […]
Docks are essentially emergent reefs of wood or concrete, and they provide the two things bass favor — shelter and food. […]
Fish move shallow at night during the summer seeking food. A light, either above or below the surface, is necessary for nighttime fishing. […]
Kenneth Blakeney stared intently through his scope waiting for the massive buck to take one more step, allowing the tension to build as he kept the crosshairs on the trophy. […]
When Les Smith of Senatobia looks at the thermometer in July, it’s not the weather temperature that comes to mind, it’s the fishing temperature. His years of experience on north Mississippi’s famous crappie factories like Enid, Sardis, Grenada, and Arkabutla lakes have shown that the heat of summer doesn’t mean it’s time to stop fishing. […]
Most rational people don’t swat a fly with a sledgehammer, but the equivalent of such overkill happens every day. On the water, the sledgehammer is the rod and the fly is either a speckled trout, bass or redfish. […]
Summertime bass fishing means lots of sweat… but the rewards are great for those willing to stick it out in the heat. […]
The new Ghost 420 is the fastest crossbow Barnett has ever created. As the name implies, it’ll fling the right arrows up to 420 fps. The Ghost is a lightweight bow that punches out of its weight class thanks to a carbonite riser and an aluminum flight track. […]
Gary Yamamoto Custom Baits’ (GYCB) latest hot lure, the Sanshouo, almost didn’t make it off the cutting room floor.
The Mississippi Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo is always a popular attraction along the state’s Gulf Coast, offering much to do for visitors to the 70-year-old event.
As expected, Mississippi’s Commission on Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks gave final approval in May to a reduction in doe limits for the 2017-18 deer season. […]
Sonar fishfinders have always helped us find fish and fish-holding structure, but helping us precisely target fish has been another story. Early on,bulb-type flashers supported vertical jigging. You dropped your lure and watched its flash move down to a flash marking a fish and then, hopefully, all you had to do was set the hook. The problem was that not all the nearby fish were directly under our boats — not even all the fish we saw on our screens. Some were at the outside edge of the cone of sound generated by our transducers and we couldn’t tell if they were to our left or right or off our bow or transom.
